I've had my eye on the Konter since Martin introduced it, but the price was too high. A few days ago, a kind soul on UU sent me a PM telling me how I could spend more money - on a used Konter from Elderly.
I looked at it, but moved on. Later in the day, I realized that used Konters don't come along very often, so I ordered it. It arrived yesterday, and it's beautiful. It's all solid koa with maybe two hundred autographs all over its body. The original Konter is in pretty bad shape, and it took a lot of technology to reveal all of the signatures.
I brought it to my group session last night, and it sounds great. One thing surprised me: the pleasant smell of the uke. I don't know if it's the wood or the finish, but is smells very nice.
